Tire recommendation?
Would anybody be able to recommend a good set of tires for my RJ inspyres? Right now I am currently running 225/40/18 Kumho Ecsta ASX . Something relatively inexpensive will do. Also should I bump it up to 235?
Thanks
Thanks

I would check out this site. Enter the size you want pick the brands and what type of tire (ie all season, performance) and it will come back with all the tires. There are customer reviews and comparisons

Well if they see snow or not makes a huge difference on what tires to get, along with how much they might see
225 40 or 235 40 seem to be the norm. Running a different size effects speedo calibration.

I am probably going to bump it up to 235. Looking at tire rack and i am having a really hard time trying to figure out which tire to get. Should i get all season or just summer tires?

If you go all-season the Continental ContiExtreme aren't bad (great wet traction, good cornering, fairly quiet, but nothing special in snow for an all-season). I think I paid under $120 per tire last year to fit the stock 17s. They wear fast though, you'll be lucky to get 25K out of them.

Ever think about toyo tires? I have the Proxies4 (235/40/18) on my car ... tread rating of 300. Pretty good for a high performance all-season tire. Pirelli PZ Nero M&S aren't bad, either.
Or ... summer tires (225/40/18) -- why not Toyo Proxies T1R? Those are well rated tires on various forums, including here. (280 tread rating).
Between the 2 sizes and considering your budget, I'd say go 225/40/18 -- more selection, lower price. The difference in the circumference is negligable.

I was looking at the proxies 4 last night. For some reason Tire rack does not list the proxies on there web site. I found a pretty decent price online and i am going to see if a tire shop will match the price.
